Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A passenger with no flying experience landed a plane at a Florida airport after the pilot became incapacitated
An hour after taking off from Bahama on May 10, a Cessna 208, a single-engine utility aircraft was flying 2,750 meters high over the Florida coast. All of a sudden, the pilot became ill and incapable of flying the aircraft. One of the passengers with no piloting experience contacted air controllers and reported the situation. There was only one choice to save the people on board. Have the passenger land the aircraft. One of the air controllers who also is a flight instructor decided to help the passenger-pilot land at Palm Beach International Airport, the area’s largest airport to make the landing less difficult. Since the air controller had never flown that type of Cessna, he used a map of the aircraft’s cockpit to give proper instructions to the passenger-pilot. And you know what? They made it safely! Will the passenger fly again or learn to fly?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video to learn about this amazing landing in the most desperate situation.
